It was wonderful! The team was extremely communicative and helpful throughout our stay. The property itself was just as beautiful as the pictures. The pool was smaller than expected but ended up being perfect to decompress in after a long beach day. Highly recommend!!

Excellent Stay

The house was lovely, well furnished, clean and just what we were hoping for. We chose to be away from the hustle and bustle of a tourist area . A great value for the money. It’s in a quiet walkable neighborhood away from traffic but drivable to amenities. Our week’s stay was a bit chilly so we were not able to take advantage of the beautiful pool.

Weekend getaway

We stayed at the Fern for our weekend get away. Very comfortable property with all the necessary appliances. The front porch was great and screened which was great. Pool was a little smaller than average sized bout still good for family fun. Table tennis in the game room was also a great plus. Decor was modern and place overall was very clean.

The property was better than advertised! The pictures are amazing but does not do it justice. You have everything you need without even leaving the property. The entertainment areas and outside areas are perfect! The pool was perfect to relax in. 5* rating. The interaction with the property manager was excellent. Very nice and responsive.
